Due to all the rain of late the car hasn't had a wash in a while. All was going well til I dried the car. Noticed that water has got under the paint.
last time it was washed the other month I gave it acpoat of colonite wax as per usual nothing different :[

What will have caused this?
Only on spoiler and bonnet can kind of push the water around











Shame as the rest of the car is still minty fresh

It is obvious the clearcoat is coming of.
Is this the original paint?

Buy carbon wing and carbon bonnet then sell it.

Looks like it's been painted before... And not a great job!
Bonnet and wing will need paint. Be best to take the bonnet and wing off the car and just hope they can match the colour.

I believe its original paint on the spoiler but the previous owner stated they did have the bonnet resprayed due to chips in 2004

[dandemoraliser]

as above clear coat seems to be damaged, leading to water permeating underneath, suggest either respray parts (might be difficult to match being milano) or as above, carbon!
